(22,000 posts)I know what it's like to hit bottom and think there is nothing to live for. I've been there more times than I want to think about.
The gal was just 26 and I'm sure she had so much potential in for her life if she could have fought instead of giving up. Giving up is easier and it's horrible to think people become so desperate they want to throw their life away.
A side note: I live in South Korea and the suicide rate here is very high. My wife works at an elementary school and one of the students wrote "I want to die" on a test. My wife went to her homeroom teacher and told her. I said that I thought the school should have a psychologist talk to her as they would be more qualified. My opinion is that you have to take that kind of situations seriously. The other day my wife told me some woman jumped off a roof somewhere in Seoul and she fell and hit another person killing them. So she not only took her life, but killed someone else in the process.
